WOODWORKING MACHINE.

Application flled February 13, 1922. Serial No. 536,336.

- J To all whom 'it mayfconcern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN J. FAGER,J r., a 4citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisburg, in the county of Dauphin and 5 State of- Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements yin Woodworking Machines; and I hereby declare that the following is a full,` clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the specification. I

This linvention relates to improvements in woodworking machines, the specification and drawings of which are similar to my pending lapplication Serial Number 497,- 914 filed September 2, '1921 with the exception of a slight change in the mounting o-f the carriage 25 upon the rods 22% An object of this invention is to provide a miLtering machine having a traveling saw mounted ona rod sliding A in a rotatable post, thus mitering at one angle, and angularly adjustable on the end of said rod to cut a miter in a different plane. I Referring to the drawings; Fig. 1, is a side elevation of a machine embodying my invention; Figw2, is a vertical 'cross section on -the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is a top plan view'of a portion of the machine. 30

Fig. 4, is a front view of the cross-head and mandrel.v Fig. 5, is an end'elevat-ion partly in section of a one track. s

yReferring more particularly to the drawing 10, fhaving legs 11 and a table top 12 upon which is located a raised portioni the reception of a'hollow pipe 16 which is 45 securely babbitted in the rotatable post and held in rigid relation thereto by set screws 17,. The lower end of this hollow pipe 16 enters the columnbase 13 and isthere surrounded by Babbitt metal, revolving therein Alike the pintle of a hinge. i

A tlateral screw 18 passes through the column base 13 and fthere attaches to abrake shoe 19 which engages the hollow pipe 16 thus providing alocking means to hold the rotatable post 14 in any desired rotary position.

portion of the carriage and ings; my invention consists in a table cast- The column 14 is provided at its topwith two oppositely disposed lateralv extensions 20 and the above mentioned overhanging arm v is provided at its outer end with two. corresponding extensions 21.

On these extens-ions and 21 are rigidly mounted tworods 22 which serveas 'tracks.

These rods are held in place by screws 23,

this being a convenient form of attachment. Upon these rods is mounted by means of two wheels 24, a carriage 25, upon this carriage is slidably and adjustably secured a frame 26, supporting' a motor 27 with'a driving pulley 28. To the carriage is rigidly secured a sliding rod 29 which is above and parallel with the track rods 22. This sliding rod 29 passes through a bore 30 provided in the top of the rotatable post 14, positioned directly over the center of the hollow pipe 16. An adjustable screw. 31 passes through the top of the rotatable post 14 and secures the sliding rod 29 in a fixed position vwhen so desired. To the other extremity of the sliding rod 29'is rigidly secured ga collar 32. Another collar 33 is looselymounted upon rod 29 and adjacent to collar 32 and connected thereto in rotary 4adjustment by bolts 34. This collar 33 is vas explained above by means of screws or bolts 34 to the fixed collar 32, lthis permits of adjusting the cross-cut saw 38 in any slanting position desired. A `handle 39 is attached to the cross head for pulling the cross-cut saw through the work.

The table casting'lO, may be provided with any suitable work supporting means, not shown.

To' lock the rotatable post 14 in any desired position the screw 18 is tightened, thus forcing the brake shoe 19 against the hollow pipe 16, thus rigidly holding said post.

Claims:

1. In a woodworking machine, the. combination of a base frame, a rotatable post mounted on said frame; a track mounted on said post; a carriage slidably mounted on said track; a rod attached to said carriage and slidable through said post; and a tol-carrying cross-head mounted on said ro 2. In a woodworking machine, the combination of a base frame;` a rotatable post mounted on said frame ;a track mounted on said post; a carriageslidably mounted on said track; a rod attached to said carriage and slidable through said post; a tool-carrying cross-head mounted on said rod and means for adjustingr said cross-head relatively to said rod.

3. In a woodworking machine, the combination of a base frame; av rotatable post nounted'on said frame; a track mounted on said post; a carriage slidably mounted on said track; a rod attached to said carriage and slidable through said post; a. collar fixedly mounted on said rod; a second collar rotatably mounted on said rod;means adapted .to adjustably connect said collars; and a tool-carrying cross-head mounted on said secondcollar.

4. In a woodworking machine, the combinationof a base frame; .a rotatable post 'mounted on said frame and provided with a transverse bore and lateral extensions; two parallel rods fixed upon said extensions; a carriage mounted on said rods and'adapted to travel thereon; a rod attached to said carriage and adapted to pass through said bore; and means mounted on said rod adapted to carry a woodworking tool.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I afiix m signature.
